Yes, it can be normal — but it's on the higher end of normal formula intake. General Formula Feeding Guideline (0–6 months): 150–200 ml of formula per kg of body weight per day
Next Steps
Possible Reasons for Frequent Hunger: 1. Growth spurt (common at 3 months) 2. Comfort feeding – some babies suck not from hunger but for soothing 3. Incorrect formula dilution – make sure it's being prepared exactly as per label 4. Underlying reflux or digestion issues – rule out if baby is irritable or vomiting often
Health Tips
What You Can Do: Burp well after every feed Watch cues – don’t feed just by clock; ensure baby shows real hunger signs Discuss with pediatrician – especially if baby’s weight is increasing very rapidly or he seems uncomfortable --- 💬 Final Reassurance: You’re doing a great job watching closely. It may not be "too much" milk if baby’s weight gain, sleep, and diaper output are normal. But since he's above 1.2L/day, it’s smart to check in with your pediatrician just to rule out overfeeding or underlying issues.

It is o.k. A baby never overfeeds. If he is not underweight, is playful, nothing to worry. But  if doubt,consult a pediatrician physically for evaluation of the baby.
